Lido Community Staking Module Bonding Mechanism
Lido Community Staking Module Bonding Mechanism
The Lido Community Staking Module includes a bonding mechanism to facilitate permissionless onboarding of node operators. The bonding mechanism allows for restitution for stakers in case of malicious actions and increases economic alignment between node operators and stakers. ETH in the form of stETH is used for bonding to prevent exposure to volatile tokens. Bonds can be used as coverage for events where node operators negatively impact staking rewards. Non-linear bonding allows node operators to operate multiple validators with decreasing bond requirements. The design of reward and penalty measurement and distribution in the community staking module will be discussed in the next part of the series.
On December 15th, the Lido DAO voted to greenlight the Community Staking Module (CSM), paving the way for community stakers to use Lido to run permissionless validators. blog.lido.fi/lido-community… Here's everything you need to know about Lido's Community Staking Module 👇
